parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (Thermostat 6-7).

Cut the baguette into regular slices without cutting all the way through. Set aside.

Peel and chop the garlic into pieces before crushing it into a paste. Wash the parsley and finely chop it using scissors.

Melt the butter and add the crushed garlic and parsley to create a soft, uniform spread. Use a brush to generously coat the slices of bread with the garlic-parsley-butter mixture, both between the slices and on the surface of the bread. Drizzle with olive oil and generously sprinkle grated cheese over the entire loaf. For added texture and crunch, you can sprinkle crushed nuts on top of the garlic bread.

Place the semi-sliced bread on a baking tray wrapped in aluminum foil and bake for 6 minutes, allowing the butter and cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together. The bread should be well-golden.

Once baked, finish slicing the bread completely and add fleur de sel. This dish is even more delicious when enjoyed on a bed of salad, seasoned to your liking. Garlic bread can be enjoyed alone as an appetizer or as a side dish.
